Yes, you have mentioned corrosion on your GX before. A great deal of water has to be channeled off the roof and down and around the back door. This unique seal caught me offguard. The lack of an adhesive makes it much easier however.
I wanted to share this with everyone now that I discovered this issue. I was working on having the common rust hole that occurs around the third row seat mount above the rear passenger side wheel well repaired. When I was reinstalling all the interior plastic panels over that wheel well I saw...
I just had the rust hole around the passenger side 3rd row seat mount repaired. I was going to reassemble all the plastic trim when I noticed the floor was wet on the steel deck. Looking at the door seal makes me believe that is the source of the water. The seal has metal in it to make it...
My passenger side 2nd row seat adjuster would not function. I looked for discussions on these issues with no luck. I ended up taking it apart and repairing it without much dificulty so I thought I would share this. The plastic push button and slide would not work. You have to remove the side...

Batteries Plus will test your battery for free. I have them check the three batteries on my fishing boat each year. I also buy my batteries from them since they have in their computer system when you bought the battery, even if it was hundreds of miles away at another branch.

Where do you live? I am central Wisconsin and my body shop guy could fix it for a reasonable price. He did all the mentioned sheet metal repair for $900.
Is the damage preventing you from driving it? Mine looks great as well. I should have bought an older Highlander. They are bullet proof. I have to replace the timing belt and water pump in a couple months.
I looked at mine. When I did I realized that mount was partially damaged from corrosion when I had the floor boatrds behind each front wheel cut out and new metal welded in. The body shop was able to cut out the rusted parts and weld in new pieces since the sheet metal was still in the...
